Arsenal made five new additions to their squad for a combined sum of €131 million in the summer. They were also keen to sign a winger in the final days of the transfer window, but failed to do so.
Shakhtar’s Mudryk was among the attackers linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in the final stretch of the window. There were suggestions that the Gunners had agreed personal terms, but nothing came of it.
While a transfer to the Premier League did not come to fruition, Mudryk has continued to impress for the Ukrainian club. He has scored one goal and provided three assists from four matches in all competitions so far.
Srna has now asserted that Arsenal or anyone interested must pay a significant transfer fee to acquire Mudryk’s services. The Shakhtar sporting director believes the 21-year-old is the best in his position behind Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. He told CBS Sports:
While it remains to be seen how much Shakhtar will demand for Mudryk’s sale, the sum will likely exceed €30 million. Srna revealed that Everton had such a bid turned down by the Ukrainian outfit for Mudryk in the summer. He said:
Mudryk is open to Arsenal move
Mudryk has a contract with Shakhtar until 2026, but could seek a move away from the club soon. He even recently conceded that he would struggle to say no if the Gunners came calling for him. He said:
While the north London giants have been credited with an interest in the Ukraine international, it remains to be seen if they will acquire his services soon.
